I think you're right Dallal -- it's important to let the dying reach death before we get involved. We need to not cheat ourselves and other life forms of the Wheels we spin.<br /><br />LISALisa F.

A tree was dying in our yard and one day I came home from work and it was cut down I didn't know why but it bothered me. I wondered if I was too attached. This spring I came home from work and saw two dead or dying bushes in the firepit and one bush up turned in the garden. This bothered me again. After reading your story I see it is about the distinction between Dead and Dying. It is so easy to have the attitude that something sick or dying is ready to be disposed of. I talked to my husband about this distinction and it brought consciousness to the both of us. <br /><br />Thank for the beautiful story!!<br /><br />DallalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-6882579087512117472010-05-19T17:45:54.838-04:002010-05-19T17:45:54.838-04:00Great comment Emily.

I called them and a woman came and she said that it was due to Leaf-crawlers... she unraveled a leaf and there was a little worm in it... the roll up the leaves to"incubate"... she said they won't kill the tree but the leaves will shrivel up.... The trick is to spray it with soapy water early in the spring, after every rain...You can make your own or buy a soap-water mix at Canadian Tire. <br /><br />Unfortunatley, the leaf crawlers are not the only problem... there are two other kinds of pest on the tree, not sure what the other ones are... maybe the soapy water will help...<br /><br />We also had some kids break one of the larger branches last year... <br /><br />This poor tree is really having a hard time. I haven't been giving it my energy, didn't really like it, its not a species that is indigenous to this part of the world, not one I would have planted, but I am trying to change my attitude and help it along.MaryRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333077284447655739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-71528455969493539692010-05-05T23:36:33.849-04:002010-05-05T23:36:33.849-04:00Mary Rose,

Last year an expert told us that it was because of "the fertilizer that was added to our lawn." This year we didn't use that fertilizer and the tree is still struggling. The leaves are curling. <br /><br />If ever you know what's ailing your tree -- please share it with us. I'm interested.<br /><br />LISALisa F.

I will try to sing to it this year to help it along... it has leaf curlers on it, they cause the leaved to shrivel up and look dead, but its not. I don't want to use chemicals... any suggestions on how I can help it??Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299877776069389696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-85253900133535494342010-05-04T23:35:54.080-04:002010-05-04T23:35:54.080-04:00I really related to your feeling of gratitude.

Throughout the day, Saturday, it appeared as a sense of joy and gratitude for every little thing I saw, felt and experienced. I have been elated ever since... <br /><br />I love the photo, the lilacs look like they are GLOWING! I had lilac bushes planted around my yard a few years ago and last year, I got my first few blooms! I am so excited to see more this year. We also had lilacs bushes as children. I love the smell. <br /><br />Love,<br />MaryRoseAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299877776069389696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-14749015192383037842010-05-04T17:35:41.532-04:002010-05-04T17:35:41.532-04:00I want to be in appreciation and gratitude of the ...I want to be in appreciation and gratitude of the life around me your thread helped spark a new outlook into everyday situations...I have a tree in my yard that needs some attention and I look forward to what else I can explore...Wolikon!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16822760763130807297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6912321843321447366.post-16255440604231218742010-05-04T01:37:36.487-04:002010-05-04T01:37:36.487-04:00This statement really touched me and what I am liv...This statement really touched me and what I am living right now..."There are too many moments in our lives where we worry, we cry, we hurt, we complain, we suffer, we feel alone etc… Why not create moments where we explore, we understand, we become aware, we forgive and look forward to new and adventurous experiences?"<br />For me it made me think about how we tend to focus on the death of a situation rather then life. I am still in the experience of the situation that I am living but found this statement helpful. Thank you.<br /><br />I loved the story of the Lilac...gave me shivers as I read it. Thank you for reminding me about the beauty in the life around me.<br /><br />SerenaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
